Would be parishoners without the word I in I hire parsons. Is this another error, ONE?

Depends on how you want to spell parishioners, TEd.

First, let me say this is from "The Boys Own Book, a Complete Encyclopedia of All the Diversions, Athletic, Scientific, and Recreative, of Boyhood and Youth," publised in Boston in 1829. It was a very popular book in the 1800's and widely used in the schoolhouses then, as well. I remember we ran into some of these strange discrepancies the last time I put up a couple threads of word puzzles/riddles from it--rebusses, enigmas, charades, and conundrums. I guess they reproduced the book in all its authentic historical inaccuracies (but the Napoleon thing is weird). (from TEd) 13. Parishioners (this is actually spelled with the extra "i" in the answer TEd, so perhaps the spelling has changed and this is some etymological anachronism) Yay! 23. Festival...yay! (from boronia) 2. Lawyers...yay! 4. Old England...yay! (from FallibleFiend) 15. Revolution...yay! 38. Sweetheart...yay! hint #2: 19 is a bit tricky, too, with an extra syllable not used much today. Numbers solved: 1, 2, 4, 10, 13, 15, 23, 32, 33, 38

I want it to be opposition, but there's an extra T!

is parishioner, but I fail to see the connection to hire a prison.
